In functional analysis, two methods of constructing normed spaces from disks were systematically employed by Alexander Grothendieck to define nuclear operators and nuclear spaces.
One method is used if the disk is bounded: in this case, the auxiliary normed space is with norm
The other method is used if the disk is absorbing: in this case, the auxiliary normed space is the quotient space
If the disk is both bounded and absorbing then the two auxiliary normed spaces are canonically isomorphic (as topological vector spaces and as normed spaces).

Assumption (Topology): is endowed with the seminorm topology induced by which will be denoted by or
Importantly, this topology stems entirely from the set the algebraic structure of and the usual topology on (since is defined using the set and scalar multiplication). This justifies the study of Banach disks and is part of the reason why they play an important role in the theory of nuclear operators and nuclear spaces.
The inclusion map is called the canonical map.
Suppose that is a disk.
Then so that is absorbing in the linear span of
The set of all positive scalar multiples of forms a basis of neighborhoods at the origin for a locally convex topological vector space topology on
The Minkowski functional of the disk in guarantees that is well-defined and forms a seminorm on
The locally convex topology induced by this seminorm is the topology that was defined before.

The goal of this course is to give an introduction to the theory of distributions and cover the fundamental results of Sobolev spaces including fractional spaces that appear in the interpolation theor
This is an introductory course on Elliptic Partial Differential Equations. The course will cover the theory of both classical and generalized (weak) solutions of elliptic PDEs.
In mathematics, in the field of functional analysis, a Minkowski functional (after Hermann Minkowski) or gauge function is a function that recovers a notion of distance on a linear space. If is a subset of a real or complex vector space then the or of is defined to be the function valued in the extended real numbers, defined by where the infimum of the empty set is defined to be positive infinity (which is a real number so that would then be real-valued).
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a metrizable (resp. pseudometrizable) topological vector space (TVS) is a TVS whose topology is induced by a metric (resp. pseudometric). An LM-space is an inductive limit of a sequence of locally convex metrizable TVS.
In functional analysis, a subset of a real or complex vector space that has an associated vector bornology is called bornivorous and a bornivore if it absorbs every element of If is a topological vector space (TVS) then a subset of is bornivorous if it is bornivorous with respect to the von-Neumann bornology of . Bornivorous sets play an important role in the definitions of many classes of topological vector spaces, particularly bornological spaces.
In this thesis, we propose to formally derive amplitude equations governing the weakly nonlinear evolution of non-normal dynamical systems, when they respond to harmonic or stochastic forcing, or to an initial condition. This approach reconciles the non-mo ...
We consider integer programming problems in standard form max{c(T)x : Ax = b, x >= 0, x is an element of Z(n)} where A is an element of Z(mxn), b is an element of Z(m), and c is an element of Z(n). We show that such an integer program can be solved in time ...
We propose two different discrete formulations for the weak imposition of the Neumann boundary conditions of the Darcy flow. The Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element on both triangular and quadrilateral meshes is considered for both methods. One is a consis ...
